Immunoblots and their quantification of mitochondria-, autophagy- and cell-survival-related and muscle-specific (desmin) proteins expressed in heart, kidney and liver of control (Cont) and CM-treated (CM) rats. CD, cathepsin D. Blot signal intensity was normalized to GAPDH unless otherwise mentioned, in which LC3-II/LC3-I, pAkt/tAkt, pAMPK/tAMPK, and pmTOR/tmTOR ratios are shown. Values from control rats are expressed as a mean value of 100 in arbitrary units (AU). Significant differences in expression or ratio in CM-treated rats compared with that in control rats are shown as * P< 0.05, ** P< 0.01. Full, uncropped images of blots are available as Supplementary Material (Figs.S9.1–3).
